Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean beef sirloin
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 2 medium red onion
- 1 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and zucchini into approximately 1-inch pieces.
Peel the red onions and cut them into wedges.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, paprika, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade, and ensure all pieces are well coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes for flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the beef, bell peppers, onions, and zucchini onto skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally until the beef is cooked to your liking and vegetables are tender-crisp.
Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
